A Big Thanks, Some Pics and a Sale

I needed two “Arizona-ish” thank you cards, one for my very generous and hospitable in-laws and the other for one of their friends who brought toys and games for the kids to play with while we were visiting.  It truly was a fabulous vacation and we’re looking forward to going back.

Muchas Gracias

I used Inka’s Muchas Gracias which I purchased from Jacksonbelle Embellishments (whom, by the way, is having a 25% off EVERYTHING sale now through Monday.  Enter code SPRING09 -all uppercase- at check-out to receive your discount).  I popped up the little dog’s ears and paper-pieced the hat, cactus and pot.  I found the paper (by The Paper Loft) at a scrapbook store in Arizona.  I hope I can find more here!  I love that flower print (and you will see it again very soon on a different card).

Here are some pics from our trip.  You can click on the thumbnails for larger views.

A pretty desert pic, a “giraffe” and the backyard view.

The desert isn’t all brown.

A visiting critter, some sleepy kitties and a little hummingbird in her nest.

Another pretty hummingbird and some pool fun.

I want to go back. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!  🙂
